To start the game both players put one chip as a blind on every hand. A randomised decision chooses the dealer. Betting starts with pre-flop action on the player opposite the dealer. Hand one (ETHOS ONE CARD) followed by Hand two (TEXAS HOLDEM) followed by Hand three (TRI-SHOW) followed by Hand four (OMAHA). This order of play will continue throughout as hands are folded. On winning hands chips are added to the players stack to be used in remaining hands. After the first preflop betting round has been completed the first three community cards are dealt as the flop and a second betting round follows. When hands are folded play contiues from hand one, and if folded, hand two, three and four. On reaching TRI-SHOW and after bets have been matched, one chosen card must be revealed and shown face up. This card is then no longer used. Play contiues to OMAHA. Once this has been completed the fourth community card, the turn, is then dealt face-up. Another round of betting occurs in the same order of play. Once completed the fifth community card, the river, is dealt face up and another round of betting follows. All hands still in play reach showdown.   

 GHOST   The ghost appeares when a player is unable to put blinds on starting hands. When this happens play runs straight through to showdown on the first hand in play (Ethos One). If the ghosting player wins this hand they are able to use the chip for further hands available as blinds or betting. This continues through the hands.
